Description
Daily 5th-grade science spiral review warm-ups aligned to NGSS and the California CAST. Includes short, focused practice with California-specific questions using models, data, and real-world science scenarios to build understanding, improve retention, and support test readiness—all with zero prep for teachers. Great for CAST test prep!
This 5th Grade Science Spiral Review Warm-Ups resource is designed to help students build understanding, strengthen retention, and feel confident for the California CAST—without adding extra prep for teachers.
Each page provides short, focused review questions that revisit key 5th-grade science concepts throughout the year. Topics are intentionally mixed so students repeatedly practice skills over time, helping close gaps and reduce test anxiety.
What sets this resource apart is its complete alignment with California’s 5th-grade NGSS standards and the style of questions students see on the CAST. Students work with models, data, and real-world science scenarios using California-specific prompts—not generic review questions.
